Swarm (spacecraft)

Swarm is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission to study the Earth's magnetic field.

The Swarm concept consists of a constellation of three satellites in three different polar orbits between 450 and 550 km altitude.

The launch is currently planned for mid-November 2013; in 2010, ESA awarded the contract to Eurockot.
